Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight for Nikon D50, D70s, D80, and D200 Digital SLR Cameras January 4, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Love this speed light! With the extra battery option the flash lasts for hours and hours. You can rotate the head and adjust the flash amount to your likings. It even works with the burst mode on my D50. I highly recommend this flash to anyone with a nikon DSLR.
A truly remarkable flash system December 31, 2006

I recently purchased a D200, along with one of these flash units. I was so impressed with the wireless TTL performance that I purchased a second one. Nikon have done a wonderful job engineering this flash and have included some really nifty accessories.
When you put the flash on the included mounting stand and point it at a nice white ceiling, the resulting images are stunning. It is almost as if you are shooting with a strobe and softbox. During Christmas, I loaded up five energizer rechargeable batteries in each unit and took nearly four hundred exposures without needing more juice.
It's worth every penny . . . December 5, 2006

Don't think twice. This flash attachment is so versatile you'll squeeze every penny out of it even if you only use half it's features. I use a Nikon D-200 and before that a D-70. And, I own two (not one, but two) of these amazing flashes. I've used them in a variety of ways together: one on the camera while the other is in remote mode; both remotely triggered by the camera's flash; and finally - one of my favorites - both off camera using the Nikon SC-28 TTL Coiled Remote Cord (a 9 foot extension that attaches to the flash shoe on-camera for use instead of either the on-camera flash or the SB-800 being on-camera). I've found this helpful for eliminating the camera-based remote triggering flash, which often causes subjects to blink at the very moment the picture is taken. I might have it elevated above the camera on a light stand or, if in the field, just in my hand off to one side or another. But, back to the SB-800: I've never taken so many perfectly exposed flash pictures in my life. And, with the SB-800, I know that the possibilities are endless.
 Great Item - Awful manual November 21, 2006

The documentation is terrible. Its going to take a lot of practice. If you're just going to stick it on top your camera its fine. However I want to use it off-camera to trigger 2 x SB600s.
Just setting the D200 to fire a pre-flash that will trigger the SB800/Masster & SB600s it's a nightmare and its not covered in any detail, in the manual.
The SB800 is designed for this purpose. So why not include information on how to do this?
Great Product... much better than the SB-600 November 4, 2006

I also have the SB-600 and this product, the SB-800, is much better - and worth the extra $100. It is much easier to use since it has a simple menu structure and not the wierd button combo selections of the SB-600. The flash output is better, the recycle time is better and you can use the flash as a commander for other wireless flashes. Also the extra battery holder for a fifth battery reduces recycle time further and never comes off my unit. The diffusion head is also included so you don't have to buy a separate one from Stofen... works great.
